If you’re arriving in Florence by car, parking can be tricky due to the ZTL (Zona a Traffico Limitato) in the city center. Here are some good parking options depending on your needs:
1. Parking Outside the ZTL (Recommended)
If you want to avoid driving into the restricted area, park outside the ZTL and use public transport or walk into the center.
- Villa Costanza (Tramway Parking) 🏆 Best Option
📍 A1 Highway exit – Villa Costanza
